JACKsoNvlLLE's CHARTER.
Lawyers Think 1t May Still Be Carried
Into Effect

TALLAHAssEE, FLA, Nov. A.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the Supreme Court
has decided that portion of the new Jack
sonville charter relating to the election of
officers, is imperative, it is thought by
sound lawyers that the charter can be car
ried into effect by using the general election
laws and by proceeding upon the principle
by any just methods. The charter authorized
an election, names the day of election, etc.
but part of the provisions for guidance in
conducting the election is made nugatory
by an amendatory statute. BY applying
the general law and holding the election
with fairness to all parties the purpose of
the charter can be fulfilled, and all will
work satisfactorily until the next Legisla-
ture can amend the charter,

WHERE THEY COME FROM.


 The facts collected by the State depart ment concerning emigration to this country during the last thirteen years are very inter- esting and timely, for the discussion of the subject is fast growing, and the facts are needed.
 More than half a million people leave their own countries every year to seek homes in another, and of this number nearly two thirds come to the United States. Since 1873 more than five million foreigners have been added to our people, constituting in the az gregate about one-eleventh of the present population. The greater portion of them come from Great Britain, Ireland and Ger many, though we are receiving much more than formerly from Russia, Italy, Austria- Hungary, Sweden and Denmark. For exam pie, of the 329, ,529 immigrants who reached the United States from Europe during the fiscal year of 1886, 34 per cent. were from Great Britain and Ireland, 25 per cent. from Germany, per cent. each from Austria, Hungary and Sweden, per cent. from Italy and per cent. from Russia. From Austria Hungary the total number of immigrants to this country Ehas considerably more than tripled since 1873, while from Russia they are now coming more than eleven times as many as there were thirteen years ago. So, too, in Italy the emigration to the United States has increased since 1873 from S,715 per annum to 21 ,295, and in Sweden during the same period from 14, 303 to 27,751. The Belgians, Danes and Portuguese also show a slight increase, though of the latter, as we'll as of the Spaniards, there was hardly an ap- preciable number among last years immi- grants. Immigration from Norway, on the other hand, has decreased in thirteen years about 25 per cent.
 These facts show that emigrants who are not thought to be desirable additions to our population are coming here in rapidly in- creasing numbers. The matter deserves i'm madiate and careful attention.

Does It Pay To Re Polite2

Does it pay to be polite? The experience of certain Washington street merchant in- clines him strongly to the belief that it does. Let him tell the story:
 ''It was about two months ago that went to Young's to lunch one day, feeling over- worked, tired and cross I suppose. Looking up and down the tables in the part of the room where I always prefer to sit, I saw one table where there were two empty chairs, one of which, however. had been turned down by quiet-looking man with a black beard who sat at the table. took the other empty chair and ordered my lunch.
 ''Just as I began to eat friend of mine Parkinson, of Milk street-whom I wanted to see very much. came in and walked down past the tables. There was a business mat ter between us which I was anxious to con- summate. 1 was also anxious to keep at my lunch. I looked at the chair that was turned down, and it struck me that my neighbours friend, for whom he was keeping the place, was long time coming in. have told you already that I was little cross. So I quietly turned back the chair and invited Parkinson to sit down. Where upon the man with the black beard looked up in surprise.
 '' I was keeping that chair for friend, , said he.
 '''It strikes me, sir, that your friend is a long time coming said I ill-naturedly, 'and I don't think anyone has a right to retain a seat to the exclusion of everybody else.'
 ''The black-bearded man said no more, though he looked me over carefully and Parkinson sat down. Presently the other mans friend came in, and the black bearded man got up, had his dishes removed to an other table after some bother to get hold of a waiter. and they sat down together, while we went on with our lunch and our business.
 "About a month after that there was a matter of some one thousand dollars differ ence in transaction between man in our trade and myself, and we agreed to leave it out to arbitration. We each selected our man, and they selected third who wasn't known to me, but who was said to be very fair man. I had my side set forth in good shape and knew should have won the case easily enough. But when I went in to see the arbitrators and gave glance at the third man my heart sank. It was the black bearded man whose chair I had taken pos session of at Young's. Now I believe that man may have been fully resolved to decide the case on it's merits, but I don't believe that he or any other man could have done so under the circumstances. My rude act stuck in his crop; that was all. He decided dead against me and served me right. I shall all ways believe that it cost me just a thousand dollars to turn back that mans chair"

Dying Under the Lash,

IFrom the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
 Flogglng through the feet was common in 1900 and before, and even since. This was part of sentence passed by court-mar- tial The launch or long boat of ship to which the offender belonged was pulled alongside of each ship in the fleet and the prisoner received dozen lashes from one of her boatswains' mates in the presence of her officers and crew. Notwithstanding the presence of a surgeon to report the ability of prisoner to endure punishment, many have died under the lash. A single lash has been known to kill man, whereas others have en-
Morning journal and courier., 1887-06-15
dured six dozen and lived. Old offenders


 who have been frequently under the lash, and who have had nerve enough to repress their sighs, say that they suffer more than those who cry out under every lash. A hardened drunkard said that in resisting his feelings he had deranged his vision to such an extent that he had ever afterward seen the skeleton of dead man near him, grin ming sometimes in his face. But he feared neither man nor fiend; he probably died in sane. A young man of education and rather delicate build, who was frequently logged for drunkenness, said that when under the lash he felt as if liquid iron were poured down the marrow of his backbone. Yet he would get drunk every time he had chance. In the Gloucester, when shaking out reef of the maintopsail, point became foul, in consequence of which the sail was torn. A man named Morris Murphy was held re- spons1ble, and the captain swore a terrible oath that he would fog him within an inch of his life. Though Murphy was one of the strongest men in the ship and as brave as he was strong-a man who never turned his back upon an enemy, yet the captains threat threw him into nervous fever which ended in death. Thrice he was supported to the grating and each time the surgeon said he was not fit to endure punishment, and be- fore the fourth logging day came round he had passed to his rest and his body had been committed to the deep. I was in the habit of writing letters, and when the ship arrived in England informed his mother of his death and directed her how to obtain his wages. Of course the cause of his death was not stated. His mother resided in Passage of Waterford, Ireland. In that same ship some four or five men who had slipped ashore without leave at Chatham were fogged the day she was paid off.
 There was a story current in the ship that | the captain when young man had logged nearly Yno inc fricr ase e1i | ny. His barge's crew bound themselves by ! oath to give him a touch of the cat when paid of. They waylaid him outside of Portsmouth in company with his wife and l daughter in a carriage. And while some | took care of the coachman and gagged the women, the others tied him to a tree and 1 logged him almost to the point of death He had nervous twitching of the shoulders ! while in command of the Gloucester, and this was the way the sailors accounted for it.
